Rhapsody of Desert and Off-Road Adventure:In-Depth Exploration of the Xinjiang Baisha Mountain Desert Off-Road Route
[Detailed Introduction to the Route or Destination]
To the northwest of Chonghur Town, Burqin County, Xinjiang, lies a hidden gem covered in golden dunes—the Baisha Mountain Desert Scenic Area. Renowned for its ‘desert surfing,’ this place offers far more than just speed and excitement. In 2026, the scenic area introduced a new ‘Camel Ride to Observe the Desert’ route, in addition to existing activities like desert off-roading and sandboarding. Visitors can ride professionally trained camels, traversing the undulating dunes and experiencing the poetic scenery of ‘a solitary smoke rising straight from the vast desert.’
The sand at Baisha Mountain is as fine as snow, with gentle slopes that hide challenges, making it a natural training ground for off-road enthusiasts. The scenic area offers three camel riding routes: short (30 minutes), medium (45 minutes), and long (60 minutes). The medium route includes a rest stop where visitors can dismount to take photos or try sand football. The sandboarding activity is equipped with professional sandboards, with slopes scientifically calculated to ensure both thrill and safety.
Off-road vehicle experiences are another highlight at Baisha Mountain. The scenic area provides two types of vehicles: 4-seaters (1,000 yuan per vehicle) and 2-seaters (600 yuan per vehicle), both equipped with low-pressure tires to prevent sinking and sand navigation systems. All drivers are local licensed professionals familiar with the dune terrain and can adjust route intensity based on visitor preferences. For those seeking a greater challenge, the ‘Desert Off-Road Challenge Race’ is available, allowing participants to tackle dune climbing and side-slope driving under the guidance of professional coaches.
The surrounding ecology of the scenic area is rich, with traces of wild rabbits and sand foxes visible in summer and poplar forests dotting the sandy sea in autumn. In 2026, the scenic area collaborated with local residents to establish a camel cooperative, with 30% of camel riding fees returned directly to the local community to support rural revitalization.
